Hi Oliver. Succession is always a problem for a company which needs 'creativity'. Wayne, a clever and brilliant engineer, and Eric, an excellent marketing profession, are the key personnel.

Anyway, I don't want the current situation with Apple happens in Elecraft. 73 Johnny Vr2XMC ________________________________ 寄件人︰ Oliver Dröse <dro...@necg.de> 收件人︰ elecraft@mailman.qth.net 傳送日期︰ 2014年04月6日 (週日) 7:22 AM 主題︰ Re: [Elecraft] Considering a K3 Don is certainly right.
